A heart after You.

Im in the school hub right now cos i wanna blog about my baptism experience! (And i spent really long uploading the photos!) Haha. Yesterday seemed to be one of the happiest days of my life, and i really couldnt recall the last time i felt so overjoyed. Went for water baptism with qiaofen qiaoru michelle, it was our breakthrough! Although from the start after being approved our parents i wasnt really very very excited, but yesterday, i could really feel the great, great joy of God in my heart. And even till now (:

Before we started the baptism service there was a short praise and worship session. Although we were under the sun, hundreds of people cramped in a small tent, but as we sang, the presence of God was really soo overwhelming, and tears just flowed though i kept trying to hold them back. God's love, joy and peace were really strong, and like what they always say, i could feel angels rejoicing all over the place. I guess thats because it was a very special moment for every one of us in white in that place, and we really want to follow Him (:

Getting down into the waters was- nervous. Haha but after the baptism, the feeling was just indescribable. Theres just this unexplainable joy in my heart, and theres a rly peaceful feeling right now. Although God didnt really literally speak to me, but i still felt that it was a special encounter with Him. And i know from here, its just a new beginning. New things are just about to happen, new lease of life, new breakthroughs (:

Water baptism was a great, great experience for me, and i believe its the same for all the 4 of us. Even till now, i can sense the presence of God all around me, regardless of where i go. This morning while i was walking to school alone, listening to praise and worship songs, I could still feel His love and presence for me so tangibly throughout my journey to school, something that i never felt so strongly before when im outside church or cellgroup. Really hope this this love, this peace, this fire for Him will never run out, and just go on for eternity (:

A big thank you to all the brothers and sisters who came down to support us yesterday! And thanks for all the gifts, hugs, handshakes- just everything that makes me feel so blessed to know you people. Your presence really made a difference yesterday, and thanks for being part of my once-in-a-lifetime special day! :D

And to my 3 beloved sisters- jazlyn, christabel and zann:
Its really one of my life's greatest blessing to have the 3 of you as my sisters, regardless whether your surname is chua or not, we're still sisters in Christ! Its been a joy being able to come to church together with you, serve God together with you, grow in His kingdom together with you, and being water baptised together with all 3 of you! Im sure that through this special day, we'll really experience new breakthroughs and we'll continue to do greater things for Him! Lets jiayou jiayou jiayou together yeah! :D

And God, thank you for single thing.
I.love.you (:
